WASHINGTON (AP) — Democratic presidential candidate Deval Patrick on Thursday outlined a broad policy agenda Thursday while jabbing at his progressive rivals for proposals that he considers too ideologically inflexible.
“A politics that says we have to agree on everything before we can work together on anything, that offers government by slogan and short-term wins, that consistently puts power ahead of principle, is exactly the kind of politics that brought us to this point,” the former Massachusetts governor writes. He advocates for “leadership that builds bridges.”

It’s a shot at the progressive candidates in race for the nomination who have argued for a wholesale, systemic overhaul rather than incremental changes. But while Patrick lays out his position on a handful of hot-button issues, his 11-page proposal offers few specifics on policy. He says voters care less about “policy abstractions” and more about “where policy touches people.”
